Hi everyone! As I mentioned to you before not one but TWO projects were featured in the August Edition of the Reloved Magazine. The issue is now available in stores (and online) and I got my hands on a copy! I am so excited and happy to be featured in this fabulous magazine!

I found these glass containers and they were still in a good shape, there was slight chipping on one of them and the gold lines were all scratched from the top. I decided to spruce them up a bit using some gold spray paint. Everything looks so much better when it is gold, don’t you think?

As you know I love to upcycle and transform an old piece into something new. I absolutely love when a forgotten piece is made into something beautiful again. I have compiled this list of fantastic transformations, which are so gorgeous I simply had to share them with you. I have done several pieces and my… Read More

There are so many headboards available you will be spoilt for choice. At the moment we are saving for a house, so I didn’t really want to splash out on something that we will most likely change once we move out. So I decided to upcycle an old headboard I came across a few months ago.

I did a post on stencils and various ideas back in March but didn’t really have an opportunity to use my beautiful damask stencil* by Stencil Warehouse until now. I got this little table and we had it in the hallway for a few months now. As the house we are currently living nowhas just… Read More

My mother-in-law asked me a while ago to paint a set of four chairs for her, we went and bought a matching set of four chairs for £4! Yes, £4!!! They were old and a little damaged (or so I thought..) but as you may know, I like a bit of a challenge, so was… Read More

My husband Shaun and I were asked to be godparents to our little nephew Oscar a few months ago.. Both of us felt so honoured and privileged to become godparents to this special little boy and be a part of the Christening day. I knew I had to make something extra special for Oscar and… Read More

I have seen so many beautiful pieces of furniture done with lace painting and I really wanted to give it a go. I think it gives such a beautiful and unique finish and is such a great way to dress a dated piece. I didn’t have to wait too long as I got this set… Read More

I am known to collect jars, glass containers and little pots so have to come up with new ideas on what to do with them as I just cannot for the life of me throw things out.. A friend of mine kindly gave me a box full of old candle jars and I was super… Read More

I love upcycling and recycling..collecting jars is one of the things I do.. I just can’t seem to throw any jars out as I think there’s so many things you can do with them! I really think the baby food jars are so cute and as some of my friends have babies, I asked them to… Read More

I really wanted to do some reupholstering for a while now so I was so excited when I got this old chair that was shouting out for a makeover. I was quite nervous as I wasn’t really sure how to do it properly but I was ready for the challenge.. Little did I know that… Read More

This one was quite a transformation and took me a while to actually get it right.. I found this little cabinet totally abandoned, left outside, no one wanted it.. It looked quite nice and I fell in love with the door knob, which was so pretty.. I thought if cannot rescue the cabinet, at least… Read More
